MCCLA Mission Grafica
The Mission Cultural Center’s (MCC) Graphics department was established in 1977, at the same
time the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts was founded. Our name is a melding of meanings:
Mission in English, is an undertaking and a political commitment to social change, and Gráfica in
Castilian, establishes a Latino identity, and defends our roots and values.
Within our collection, we have cataloged more than 4,000 posters. This important collection will
become one of the most important collections of Latino / Chicano posters in the country. With this
archive, the MCCLA possess an important artistic tool to educate the general public and the Latino
community about its artists and their print making. The preservation of this body of work is vital
to our rich Chicano and Latino cultural history, and it serves as a powerful monument not only to
our culture but to the artistic talents of our proud community.

For more information:
Contact Mission Grafica at 415-821-1155 or grafica@missionculturalcenter.org
Class Description Lithography has a long relationship with poster art, propaganda, and mass
marketing due to its fast, reliable reproducibility. Traditionally drawings are done on heavy
limestone slabs and printed after an involved chemical process. But there is an easier, cheaper,
more portable way! Create hand-rendered or digitally/photographically composed prints on
paper-thin polyester plates you can work on at home! These miraculous matrices can be run
through a photocopier or laser printer and/or drawn on with a variety of common pens and
markers. Printing experience will be critical to get the hang of the technique, so come with
drawing resources and/or files in hand so we can print up a storm!
